Morrissey forced to cancel the rest of his UK tour

30/05/2009

Morrissey has been forced to cancel the rest of his UK tour due to illness. The news comes on the back of a number of cancellations after the former Smiths singer was advised by doctors that he needed to rest in order to recover from a persistent throat problem.

Sadly thousands of Moz fans in London were left disappointed after the 50-year-old pulled out of last night's gig at the Brixton Academy and tonight's show at the same venue has also been canned.

An official statement from the singer explained the situation: "Morrissey is on continued doctor's orders not to sing." But on a brighter note fans have been advised to keep their tickets for a possible rescheduled tour.
